2002 MG TF 1.8L Petrol · RO52 NHD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in April 2025 at 49,789 miles where no defects were recorded. This result indicates that the car is currently maintained in a condition that meets legal standards. The history shows a consistent trend of passes without major failures, suggesting that the vehicle has not suffered from recurring mechanical breakdowns or structural failures over the last several years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,075 miles per year. A significant gap in usage exists between May 2017 and April 2025, where the car covered only 538 miles over eight years. This pattern suggests the vehicle likely sat for long periods or was used only very sparingly. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, prolonged storage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and tyre perish that MOT tests cannot detect. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, as the MG TF is prone to corrosion if left stationary. The April 2015 test flagged slight play in the offside front track rod end ball joint, and while this was rectified, the low-use history means that other suspension bushes and linkages may be perished from age. Attention should be paid to the brake system for seized calipers or corroded discs, which are common issues on vehicles that do not see regular use.
